Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan gave a personalised revolver with live ammunition to Sir Keir Starmer at the Nato summit in Ankara. The firearm, engraved with the Prime Minister's name, was one of many similar gifts given to each attending leader. Sir Keir's revolver remains in Turkey to be decommissioned because importing a live firearm into the UK is illegal.
